The LG Optimus T smartphone lets you use available Wi-Fi networks to access high-speed Internet free of charge. This feature can save you money on your wireless bill and also comes in handy in locations where 3G connections aren't available. The Optimus T can connect to both open and secured networks. To access a secure network, you'll need to enter the correct password. Passwords can be obtained from the service provider or network administrator.

Touch the "Home" button, located below the touch screen, to return to your home screen if necessary. Press the "Menu" key, located to the left of the Home key.

Touch "Settings." The "Settings" menu opens. Touch "Wireless and Networks" from the list.

Touch the check box next to "Wi-Fi" to place a check mark in the box and turn Wi-Fi on. Touch "Wi-Fi Settings," located just below the "Wi-Fi" option. A list of available networks will display.

Touch the network you wish to connect to. If the network is open, you will be connected automatically. Otherwise, enter the password in the pop-up box that appears. Touch "Connect."
